Beyond Large Language Models: How Large Behavior Models Are Shaping the Future of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has come a long way, with large language models (LLMs) demonstrating impressive capabilities in natural language processing. These models have changed the way we think about AI’s ability to understand and generate human language. While they are excellent at recognizing patterns and synthesizing written knowledge, they struggle to mimic the way humans learn and behave. As AI continues to evolve, we are seeing a shift from models that simply process information to ones that learn, adapt, and behave like humans.

Large Behavior Models (LBMs) are emerging as a new frontier in AI. These models move beyond language and focus on replicating the way humans interact with the world. Unlike LLMs, which are trained primarily on static datasets, LBMs learn continuously through experience, enabling them to adapt and reason in dynamic, real-world situations. LBMs are shaping the future of AI by enabling machines to learn the way humans do.

Why Behavioral AI Matters

LLMs have proven to be incredibly powerful, but their capabilities are inherently tied to their training data. They can only perform tasks that align with the patterns they’ve learned during training. While they excel in static tasks, they struggle with dynamic environments that require real-time decision-making or learning from experience.

Additionally, LLMs are primarily focused on language processing. They can’t process non-linguistic information like visual cues, physical sensations, or social interactions, which are all vital for understanding and reacting to the world. This gap becomes especially apparent in scenarios that require multi-modal reasoning, such as interpreting complex visual or social contexts.

Humans, on the other hand, are lifelong learners. From infancy, we interact with our environment, experiment with new ideas, and adapt to unforeseen circumstances. Human learning is unique in its adaptability and efficiency. Unlike machines, we don’t need to experience every possible scenario to make decisions. Instead, we extrapolate from past experiences, combine sensory inputs, and predict outcomes.

Behavioral AI seeks to bridge these gaps by creating systems that not only process language data but also learn and grow from interactions and can easily adapt to new environments, much like humans do. This approach shifts the paradigm from “what does the model know?” to “how does the model learn?”

What Are Large Behavior Models?

Large Behavior Models (LBMs) aim to go beyond simply replicating what humans say. They focus on understanding why and how humans behave the way they do. Unlike LLMs which rely on static datasets, LBMs learn in real time through continuous interaction with their environment. This active learning process helps them adapt their behavior just like humans do—through trial, observation, and adjustment. For instance, a child learning to ride a bike doesn’t just read instructions or watch videos; they physically interact with the world, falling, adjusting, and trying again—a learning process that LBMs are designed to mimic.

LBMs also go beyond text. They can process a wide range of data, including images, sounds, and sensory inputs, allowing them to understand their surroundings more holistically. This ability to interpret and respond to complex, dynamic environments makes LBMs especially useful for applications that require adaptability and context awareness.

Key features of LBMs include:

Interactive Learning: LBMs are trained to take actions and receive feedback. This enables them to learn from consequences rather than static datasets.

Multimodal Understanding: They process information from diverse sources, such as vision, sound, and physical interaction, to build a holistic understanding of the environment.

Adaptability: LBMs can update their knowledge and strategies in real time. This makes them highly dynamic and suitable for unpredictable scenarios.

How LBMs Learn Like Humans

LBMs facilitate human-like learning by incorporating dynamic learning, multimodal contextual understanding, and the ability to generalize across different domains.

Dynamic Learning: Humans don’t just memorize facts; we adapt to new situations. For example, a child learns to solve puzzles not just by memorizing answers, but by recognizing patterns and adjusting their approach. LBMs aim to replicate this learning process by using feedback loops to refine knowledge as they interact with the world. Instead of learning from static data, they can adjust and improve their understanding as they experience new situations. For instance, a robot powered by an LBM could learn to navigate a building by exploring, rather than relying on pre-loaded maps.

Multimodal Contextual Understanding: Unlike LLMs that are limited to processing text, humans seamlessly integrate sights, sounds, touch, and emotions to make sense of the world in a profoundly multidimensional way. LBMs aim to achieve a similar multimodal contextual understanding where they can not only understand spoken commands but also recognize your gestures, tone of voice, and facial expressions.

Generalization Across Domains: One of the hallmarks of human learning is the ability to apply knowledge across various domains. For instance, a person who learns to drive a car can quickly transfer that knowledge to operating a boat. One of the challenges with traditional AI is transferring knowledge between different domains. While LLMs can generate text for different fields like law, medicine, or entertainment, they struggle to apply knowledge across various contexts. LBMs, however, are designed to generalize knowledge across domains. For example, an LBM trained to help with household chores could easily adapt to work in an industrial setting like a warehouse, learning as it interacts with the environment rather than needing to be retrained.

Real-World Applications of Large Behavior Models

Although LBMs are still a relatively new field, their potential is already evident in practical applications. For example, a company called Lirio uses an LBM to analyze behavioral data and create personalized healthcare recommendations. By continuously learning from patient interactions, Lirio’s model adapts its approach to support better treatment adherence and overall health outcomes. For instance, it can pinpoint patients likely to miss their medication and provide timely, motivating reminders to encourage compliance.

In another innovative use case, Toyota has partnered with MIT and Columbia Engineering to explore robotic learning with LBMs. Their “Diffusion Policy” approach allows robots to acquire new skills by observing human actions. This enables robots to perform complex tasks like handling various kitchen objects more quickly and efficiently. Toyota plans to expand this capability to over 1,000 distinct tasks by the end of 2024, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of LBMs in dynamic, real-world environments.

Challenges and Ethical Considerations

While LBMs show great promise, they also bring up several important challenges and ethical concerns. A key issue is ensuring that these models could not mimic harmful behaviors from the data they are trained on. Since LBMs learn from interactions with the environment, there is a risk that they could unintentionally learn or replicate biases, stereotypes, or inappropriate actions.

Another significant concern is privacy. The ability of LBMs to simulate human-like behavior, particularly in personal or sensitive contexts, raises the possibility of manipulation or invasion of privacy. As these models become more integrated into daily life, it will be crucial to ensure that they respect user autonomy and confidentiality.

These concerns highlight the urgent need for clear ethical guidelines and regulatory frameworks. Proper oversight will help guide the development of LBMs in a responsible and transparent way, ensuring that their deployment benefits society without compromising trust or fairness.

The Bottom Line

Large Behavior Models (LBMs) are taking AI in a new direction. Unlike traditional models, they don’t just process information—they learn, adapt, and behave more like humans. This makes them useful in areas like healthcare and robotics, where flexibility and context matter.

But there are challenges. LBMs could pick up harmful behaviors or invade privacy if not handled carefully. That’s why clear rules and careful development are so important.

With the right approach, LBMs could transform how machines interact with the world, making them smarter and more helpful than ever.

Interactive Spanish learning is essential in nurturing linguistic skills from an early age, especially in a vibrant setting like a preschool in New York City, New York. Infants absorb language through play, songs, and interactions, making it crucial to provide a dynamic learning environment. Incorporating colorful visuals, engaging storytelling, and fun songs in Spanish not only captivates their attention but also lays a strong foundation for bilingualism. Parents looking for enriching educational experiences will find that fostering Spanish language skills from infancy opens a world of opportunities.

[Rook voice] maybe if you had some friends you'd calm down 🙄

i have suddenly become obsessed with a theme that HoO established but never proceeded to extrapolate on, which is:

You are Percy Jackson, and you have been swapped with a boy who was allegedly everyone's favorite person, but they have decided to replace him with you. They just met you. You stand next to his best friend and the people he's known his entire life. In his home. In his cloak. In his place. They stopped looking for him.

You are Jason Grace, and you have just found out you have a long lost sister who completely replaced you in her life with this girl you just met. Your lives and personalities are mirrors. She is you, living the life you were robbed of.

You are Annabeth Chase, and you have just become starkly aware that you have been inhabiting the void left behind by your best friend's long lost brother. You and Luke were just replacements for him. Now you have to look him in the eyes when he has nothing and know you took that life from him.

You are Piper McLean, and you have just found out your relationship is fake and built entirely on the memories of Annabeth Chase. You have been given a boyfriend when hers has been taken away. You have no idea how much of it is real or not but regardless you feel like if your relationship isn't exactly in their image that you have failed.

You are Leo Valdez, and you have just learned that you are the echo of your great-grandfather. You are not your own person. You just exist to be a mirror of him. A doppelganger. An actor and stunt double facing all the danger he never had to but wearing his face. To be there for his best friend decades later simply because he couldn't. You are playing a role. A seventh wheel and a pawn for a goddess who carefully sculpted your entire life for her own purposes.

You are Hazel Levesque, and the only reason you are alive is because your brother couldn't save your his sister. You are a consolation prize. An apology. Your existence here is misplaced in every way but you inhabit it anyways.

You are Frank Zhang, and you are a shapeshifter. Inhabiting your own body feels strange and clumsy when you could be literally anything at any time. You are anything and everything and live your life with the simple certainty of knowing exactly how you will die.

Covenant

[deikshen]

Shen Yuan was a beta all his life so then, now, being the omega Shen Qingqiu who can no longer suppress his secondary gender by Without-a-cure, needs to learn to be an Omega.

The information in the books is damn unclear and it would not be right to go ask for help from disciples or brothels, so he just... Well, he knows that Shang Qinghua is a spy for the demons, and he knows that Mobei Jun is an Omega for his meta knowledge. So he decides to go and threaten Shang Qinghua's ass with exposing him with the other Peak Lords for treason unless he allows him to have private meetings with Mobei Jun.

(At some point, they both reveal themselves as transmigrants? Yes. But not at the beginning for more drama lol Shang Qinghua racking his brains over what the hell Shen Qingqiu the scum villain and HIS KING will talk about in private- )

So, in private meetings with Mobei Jun, Shen Qingqiu humiliates himself with a half-truth: he tells him that I had never experienced anything like omega (after all, the entire CQMS thinks Shen Qingqiu is a beta), and now with Without-a-cure he has stopped taking his suppressants because the damage they were doing to his health, so right now he doesn't know how to do omega basic things like nest, purr, scent, pack behavior...

Mobei Jun agrees to teach him all those omega things; in exchange, Shen Qingqiu will give him more information and those things that Shang Qinghua doesn't have access to, since Shen Qingqiu is, well, Peak Lord of the second most important peak. They make a half-hearted and reluctant agreement, but they are on the same page.

And Mobei Jun teaches him. He teaches him how to fix a nest and the different ways he can use it. How apply blankets properly for softness, or comfort, or space, depends on what suits him. Teaches him to scent with the necessary amount of pheromones on people, objects, pack gifts, puppy gifts- It is a different level for each situation, and it is very necessary that it be respected, because otherwise it could give the wrong message!!

It also teaches purring, different growls, the type of reactions these sounds would have in Alphas or other Omegas. Also what kind of fabrics or robes are more comfortable to wear closer to the heat, what herbs to avoid, what kinds of things might not help him, what types of foods to stock up on for those occasions.

There is a lot of monosyllabic talk, a lot of directions and teachings, and Mobei Jun is not really the type to talk a lot, but neither is Shen Qingqiu, so unless necessary, they won't say much that is not so very important. They drink tea (iced) and they always end their secret meetings by scenting their wrists. It's a habit. Mobei Jun's omega scent is clear like ginger-mint and somewhat spicy, but it doesn't smell demonic itself, then it can go unnoticed.

The change in Shen Qingqiu's Omega behavior is noticeable, not only among the now very spoiled puppy disciples, but among the Peak Lords. Mu Qingfang is glad that Shen Qingqiu is finally accepting being part of the pack, scenting them, giving them scented gifts for their own common spaces. Alphas and betas do not necessarily nest, but in their homes they often have things with the aromas of their packs, giving shape to their home.

There is only one notable difference. Mobei Jun, of course, has taught his omega knowledge biased by his demonic family teaching. So, Shen Qingqiu finds himself... biting.

He bites his disciples' cheeks, he bites their little hands when he comes to scent them. It is easier to give them little bites, so they will only laugh or blush.

He bites Liu Qingge's cheek, one day the Alpha gets really close to him sniffing the clear scent of Mobei Jun on him, asking who is. In defense of Shen Qingqiu, he became nervous!!! And Liu Qingge stepped away as if he had been set on fire, walking away like a penguin.

Randomly bites Mu Qingfang's hands when he is checking him out by Without-a-cure, little bites on his fingers, on his knuckles. Mu Qingfang blushes, steps back, and quickly notes down the reactions. Pff. As if it wasn't normal for Omegas to bite and lick their packs!! Now they will tell that Omegas should not court their Alphas by proving they can kill them in a fight only to decide not to! Of course Binghe's harem didn't work like that, but those were female Omegas! He was a male Omega, that would make the difference, wouldn't it?

So, just, Shen Qingqiu is there, gifting his packs with things with his scent, purring when some Alpha around him is stressed, biting hands, wrists, cheeks. He shamelessly sits close to anyone and drenches them with his scent. He's much more tactile with everyone. He makes comfortable public-nesting spaces in gardens where he invites his youngest disciples (and Binghe, because how could he deprive Binghe of those experiences?! The poor boy is always hungry for affection, hugs, pats and bites more than any other disciple) to snuggle with him while purring and playing some music, just as Mobei Jun had explained that Omegas did with their pups so they could relax after long days-

(The other Peak Lords don't know if Shen Qingqiu has gone mad or is trying to court them all. They also don't want to risk asking and ruining whatever's going on.)

(Amidst all this, and instinctively, both Mobei Jun and Shen Qingqiu begin to see and feel like a pack. They give each other scented blankets, their scents are in their respective nests. There are new jewels among Shen Qingqiu's hair accessories, and new necklaces hanging over Mobei Jun's open necklines. They are a pack. Family of some strange and accidentally acquired kind. Even Shen Qingqiu relaxes in Mobei Jun's nest once while waiting for him due to an urgency among the rebellious demons - which almost causes Shang Qinghua to almost have a qi deviation when he sees him, comfortable in his king's nest just reading.)

(At some point, Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu reveal themselves to be transmigrants- and Shang Qinghua is laughing his fucking shit off, because now he has the explanation of everything, and he's definitely not going to tell him that the normal omega mode of demons is the omega-courtship-family mode of humans. Nope. He'll let Cucumber-bro figure it out for himself.)
